We receive many automated security reports that we have historically found to be of very low value. To be honest it made us a little cynical. But when we received the hand-vetted penetration results from Vertex, it was delightful to have such clearly articulated security concerns, with detailed specifics, and suggested remediation strategies. It was a great benefit to the security of our project, our customers, and our communities.

Vertex conducted security audits on the MITIE forum and our website. These sites are hosted by different third parties and serve different purposes. Following the audits we were provided with very comprehensive reports for each site and we were provided with thorough briefings during which each of the vulnerabilities identified were explained...The reports were also useful to us because they highlighted some changes we can make to underlying site settings to increase security. Based on our experience during these security audits, I would recommend Vertex if you are considering a site security audit.

The training program exceeded our expectations. The content is thorough, up-to-date, and delivered in a clear, engaging manner. Our team's cyber awareness has improved considerably since we implemented this training and we have had a significant improvement in the results of our testing exercises as a result. It has become an essential part of our security strategy.

Modern communications expose businesses to existential risks. Vertex’s refreshingly concise assessment report and prioritised action list gives us confidence that we are doing our best to minimise these risks. The simplicity and expertise provided by Vertex was invaluable.
Dave CollinsDirector - Synergetics
Martin and the team at Vertex Security delivered way above expectations. There was a level of care that goes beyond what you'd expect from a consultant and shows that they really care about the security outcomes for your company. Highly recommended!

Implemented Portfolios Limited (IPL) is a growing organisation engaging a number of technology experts to guide us in ensuring that our technology stack is both fit for purpose and secure. Cyber security is a risk factor that requires effective management as a core governance concern. IPL engaged Vertex Cyber Security to undertake a cyber security audit to provide our team with a wholistic insight into our current cyber risks and to help us develop a roadmap to mitigate the identified cyber risks. Vertex completed their audit in a disciplined approach to assess our business end-to-end and worked with us to develop an action plan to plug the identified gaps. Vertex understood we operate with a risk appetite and as such the risk mitigation recommendations will be managed within our risk context. We found that Vertex balanced the technical vs commercial discussions well and handled their recommendations in a very pragmatic manner. Thanks for Vertex, we are now underway in actioning our plan to enhance our cyber security. We would recommend Vertex to other businesses, especially those who may not have internal technology expertise, as all of the data was presented in an easily consumable form.
Ian WhiteGeneral Manager - Implemented Portfolios Limited
Martin is an excellent source of cybersecurity and compliance knowledge and always makes time to lend an hand, often in person. He's helped us implement practical improvements to both the technical and non-technical aspects of our security.

We had Martin from Vertex conduct a cyber security audit on our accounting and financial planning practice with 24 staff. Given Covid required a lot of our staff to work remotely and we were concerned about our data security and wanted to make sure we were managing this risk as best as possible. Martin conducted a thorough review, including detailed interviews with key staff to understand which systems we used and how we used them. At the end of the process we were provided with a detailed report and meeting with Martin to go through the risks identified and formulate an action plan to address the risks, starting with the critical ones. We are now working with our IT services team to complete these action items and as a business have far more piece of mind that we have been able to resolve some key data security improvements. I would highly recommend any business undertake these services, especially if you have a mobile workforce. I would also highly recommend you do this through Vertex as we found their service to be very comprehensive and the issues explained in language I could understand.
